- 1 lemon, juiced
- coarsely ground black pepper
Marinated Potatoes:
- ¾ pound Russet potatoes cut to ½-inch dice, leaving skin on
- ¾ pound Purple Majesty potatoes, cut into ½-inch dice, leaving skin on
- ¾ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch dice, leaving skin on

Method
- Rub lamb with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice and black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate for 4 hours to marinate.
- In an approx. 20×25cm rectangular baking dish, combine potatoes, oil, garlic and rosemary sprig; roast at 250 degrees for 2 hours or until potatoes are tender.
- When potatoes are done, remove and discard rosemary sprig and garlic. Drain excess olive oil and discard. Gently combine sage, parsley, shallots, figs and sherry vinegar. For a more tangy flavor, add additional vinegar. Set aside.
